Girls soccer state tournament: Public semis and Non-Public finals now Wednesday

We're inching ever closer to the conclusion of a dramatic season, and with 18 sectional final matches in the bag today, state final and semifinal pairings are set for Wednesday.

There are eight teams still alive from The Star-Ledger Top 20, including five of the top seven and six of the top 10.

And still on top of that list is the incomparable Northern Highlands, which blanked Ramapo, 4-0, to improve to 22-0 and notch its 18th shutout. Hard to believe the program has allowed only four goals all season.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The NJSIAA announced Monday that the group semifinals for public schools were pushed back from Tuesday to Wednesday because of concerns over the snowstorm expected Tuesday.
